Hi Phil,

I am aware of a few regional variations, but even those aren't widespread within that region.

Take for example, the wearing of white tie by gentlemen from Perth. Not seen on everyone, of course, but see even less in other parts of the highlands.

And my favourite, tartan jackets. Certainly they are not common, and one can usually find somebody wearing one almost anywhere, but you really do stand a greater chance of seeing one worn to a ball or party in the Western Highlands. I don't know why.

Jabots, too. I know you wear one. My friends, and my experience, tell me that they are much more in evidence in the Western Highlands.
